hey, yep i'm sure i have the sexes correct as i saw who was on top of whom when the mating took place. as well the male has a blue cere and the female a brown one. all 5 eggs have been candled and are found to be fertile....really weird!lol the female tries to sit on the eggs but the male scooches her over so he can do it. he hardly ever comes out of the box....they should start to hatch any time so hopefully there will be a change in position..lololol i'll keep you posted, jill
